nx-ci

name: nx-ci description: CI/CD workflows with Nx affected commands. Use when setting up pipelines, debugging CI failures, or optimizing builds.

Nx CI/CD Workflows

Affected Commands

pnpm nx affected -t test
pnpm nx affected -t lint test build
pnpm nx affected -t test --base=origin/main --head=HEAD

GitHub Actions

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    fetch-depth: 0 # Required for affected

- uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4

- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- run: pnpm nx affected -t lint test build --base=origin/main

Nx Cloud

• Cloud ID: 68ed5766d0a8584639447f54
• Dashboard: https://cloud.nx.app

Benefits:

• Remote caching
• Distributed execution
• Build analytics

Local CI Simulation

pnpm nx affected -t lint test build --base=origin/main
pnpm nx run-many -t lint test build --all

Debugging CI Failures

pnpm nx affected:graph --base=origin/main
pnpm nx affected --target=test --base=origin/main --dry-run
pnpm nx test {failing-project} --skip-nx-cache

Cache Management

pnpm nx reset                          # Clear cache
pnpm nx test {project} --skip-nx-cache # Bypass cache
pnpm nx report                         # Cache status

Best Practices

1. Use affected commands in CI
2. Keep main branch green
3. Use Nx Cloud for remote caching
4. Set proper base/head refs
5. Use --parallel for independent tasks
